In India, many brands are now offering low-cost mechanical keyboards. They were costly earlier but one can find super amazing one with 50% less cost now.

I am not sure how it different than what we do with llms on daily basis.

We feed it the information as a context to help us make a plan or strategy to achieve or get something.

They are also doing the same. They will be feeding the sensor, weather and other info, so claude can give them plan to execute.

Ultimately, they need to execute everything.

"Isolating people from each other"

I can see this happening. Earlier, more people worked in groups because they relied on their expertise.

Now, there is no need for this; people can do it alone. Even though this makes the work done, it comes at the cost of isolation.

I am sure for some people this would look like a win.

It only isolates you, if you let it isolate you. The pandemic shifted my life, as I have been working alone at home ever since. I am single no kids, and after the pandemic ended I continue to stay "isolated". I knew about that dangers and took active measures - some of which were only possible because I was no longer required to go to an office. I moved to another country, to a location with a lot of international expats that work online, too. I built an active social circle, attending meetups, sport groups, bar nights etc.

I am now more social and happier than ever, because my daily social interactions are not based on my work or profession, and I get to chose with whom I spend my time and meet for lunches. Before, the chores around hour long commutes, grooming, packing my bag, meal-prep, dressing properly etc. just to sit in the office all day - all are gone from my schedule. I have more free time to socialize and maintain friendships, pay less rent, and in general - due to lower cost of living - life quality has improved significantly.

Without work-from-home this would not be possible. You could argue WFH results in isolation and depression, but for me it was liberating. It is, of course, each individuals own responsibility (and requires acitve work, sometimes hard work, too) that will influence the outcome.

Which country is that? If it’s not a secret.

Spain. You can basically pick any continental coastal town, or any of their islands (Baleares or Canarias) and will find similar conditions. Portugal was (and still is) also an option for the future. For US citizens, I personally would look at Mexico, Costa Rica or Columbia, as those timezones are probably best when working with US companies. I am personally not a big fan of Asia (no offense to anyone), so Thailand was never on the list for me but I know it is very popular for remote workers.

EDIT: To add to this, you might not need to change countries if all you look for is to be more socialable/outgoing. A key factor here for me was the expat community - not because I want to live inside a little expat bubble, but at least within that community people usually moved away to another place to be more active/outgoing, make new connection etc. People don't expatriate to stay at home, commute to work, and watch netflix/play videogames all day. This could also work for you if you i.e. move to a more touristy/active area within your country, because a lot of options for active passtime such as outdoor sports attract people also for long term.

It's easy to get caught up in the allure of new places, but sometimes the biggest shift needed is internal, or within your existing country. Finding communities, expat or local, that actively seek connection often matters more than the specific longitude and latitude. Many move not just for location, but for a new mindset.Considering Spain, Portugal, Mexico, Costa Rica, or even staying stateside, you're weighing many factors.

How’s your language? Are you planning to learn it or already good enough?

I'm doing quite well now in spanish, but I was already speaking some french before I came here, because I learned it in school and grew up close to the french border in Germany. French being a roman language helps a lot in learning spanish as the grammar and vocab is often quite similar. At least that helps you get going quickly.

Nice, thanks for the answers!

I am shocked after finding out about so many deaths linked to chatbots - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deaths_linked_to_chatbots

Why would you be shocked? People talk about these things like they’re some kind of oracle. It’s pretty obvious that an “oracle” which gives somewhat random answers is dangerous.

The fact that a technology being used by literally billions of people has a wikipedia page listing only 15 related deaths does not seem to suggest that the technology is dangerous.

15 that we know of, so far. People outside the HN crowd just started using AI pretty recently. There’s also a case to be made that the increased pollution has a certain death toll as well. We know that fossil fuels, construction, manufacturing, and even noise all produce pollution that reduce the average lifespan in a given area. Some of these data centers are being run off gas turbines which are very dirty.

I remember seeing people make similar arguments in the early days of OxyContin’s takeover.

The length of the Wikipedia article at this point isn’t good evidence of either side.

With half the planet using these, that hardly seems like many.

I am sharing content using these creepy links to send to office people.

I like how the country is taking bold steps. This is a great move.

The US literary attacked a country and captured its leader. They always have a double standard.

I can't even ask for forgiveness for this diabolical.

Yeah, Remote Viewing should be a real-time event. This is Precognition.

Why does it need to be real- time? If rv is possible then it’s naive to assume that time is somehow “special” vs 3D. It’s possible that time is not unfolding linearly, that is only an illusion. “Remote” could involve accessing information from along the time dimension.

I guess that makes sense. My tiny brain is still processing all the information. Thinking beyond 3D or space/time is impossible for me.

Long ago I was told of looking at a timeline so that time "travels" from left to right is the normal view, but now rotate that timeline so that it appears as a dot to you. You now see all events of the timeline, but without reference to "when" they happened. Lots of scifi plots are also described as such

Think about a maze drawn on a piece of paper. Because we’re in 3D you can see all of the maze at once but if you were a 2D entity inside the maze you would only see the walls / entrances / exits directly in front or behind you. Now imagine drawing a line from the entrance to the exit - that’s 2D + a time dimension. Now make it a 3D maze and an entity existing outside of spacetime would be able to see all events happening at once in 3D.

This is so shocking, considering the similarities.

Reality is indeed stranger than fiction.
